In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry called the bombings "a criminal act" and sent its condolences to families of victims.
A spokesman for Kofi Annan said in New York that the UN secretary-general reacted with "sorrow and anger" to news of the attacks on two hotels and a tourist bazaar in the tourist-packed seaside resort.
Close to 200 people were wounded, many of them foreigners.
